Frontman Dave Growl says members are “devastated”.
The band has announced the sad news on Twitter.
The Foo Fighters are on tour in South America and had been due to headline Festival Estereo Picnic in Bogotá, Colombia on Friday evening, 25th March. The festival released a statement on Facebook confirming the band had pulled out of the three-day festival due to Hawkins’s death.
Hawkins had drummed for 25 of Foo Fighters’ 28 years of existence after taking over from original drummer William Goldsmith in 1997.
